relocating to St. Thomas for a year

mtdoramike · 2013-01-09T02:38:48Z

Hi, my wife and I are retired and located in Florida and plan to relocate to St. Thomas for a year or so. My question is, I would like to purchase a used car in St. Thomas to drive around with. But I don't want to have to turn in my Florida drivers license and obtain a St. Thomas drivers license since we would be returning to the states in a year or so. I'm aware that I would have to obtain St. Thomas license plates and registration for the car as well as insurance, which I have no problem with. I just would hate to go through the hassle of getting a bew St. Thomas DL only to return to Florida a year later and have to get a new FL DL as well. Any way around this or am I stuck here. Thanks, Mike

I had to go to Inspection lane today (not bad - only an hour for inspection and paperwork).
I asked there if someone was only here 6 months out of the year and was told that you can get a permit without relinquishing your stateside driver's license. Call them to inquire.
